Starting with version 8.21, "prime.h" is pre-built and distributed.

That would be fine with me.
We were precomputing the "wheel.h" table of primes before, too.

If we go the route of distributing the generated file,
then we might as well resort to using Perl and say, -Mbigint,
to do generate all variants.

It'd be a pain to do it in portable awk, as it requires
arithmetic modulo (UINTMAX_MAX + 1), which Awk is not
likely to support directly.

Since there are only two or three plausible values of UINTMAX_MAX
these days, one possibility is to precompute primes.h for these
two or three values, and ship the precomputed primes.h in the
tarball, and to use the precomputed primes.h on hosts with typical
UINTMAX_MAX values.  People who are on a weird platform where
UINTMAX_MAX is an unusual value wouldn't be able to cross-compile,
but that's unlikely to ever happen and even if it does, we simply
add the unusual case to the precomputed primes.h.

As reported privately by Yegor Yefremov:

    coreutils-8.20 has interesting issue. Have you tried to cross
    compile it for ARM? I get following error:

    GEN    src/primes.h
    /bin/sh: src/make-prime-list: cannot execute binary file
    make[1]: * [src/primes.h] Error 126

    because make-prime-list is also cross compiled. Any idea how to fix thi=
s?=EF=BB=BF

Thanks for the bug report.  (forwarding it to the bug-coreutils list)
Yes, that is a problem when cross-compiling to any target.

I would like to generate that table with a portable awk script (maybe
even Perl).  If someone can provide such a script, I would be happy
to dump the C program.  That would solve the problem.

You can work around it by touching the executable, creating the generated
file on another system and copying it to your build directory.
